Live Streamer Grief-Pulling Mobs for Over a Week – Ongoing Issue

HslerTV, also known as Krank, has been grief-pulling mobs onto groups in the Tower of Carphin for the past week. During one of his streams, he openly stated, "You and your friends aren't gonna farm there until you all turn red! Go ahead and report me for griefing, time to make you all suffer and make you logout."

After making this statement, he spent the next five-eight hours pulling mobs into groups, disrupting gameplay. I’ve included the VoD link for full context and evidence of his actions. I chose not to clip it to avoid giving him a chance to delete the footage.

How is this kind of behavior still allowed in the game? Shouldn't this be a bannable offense?

He purposely doesn't save his VoD's but he forgot about this one so hopefully we can do something about it.

    100 euros to troll on an Alpha
    It is, in fact, the chosen one.

    tip: do we have ignore list?
  • unknowncannibalunknowncannibal Member, Alpha Two
    I don't mute him because I want to gather more evidence against him. Sure, you can ignore his toxic comments in chat, but you can't ignore the 10 mobs he constantly trains into you and your group when you're trying to farm XP or gear in that zone. It's absurd that one person can completely lock down a zone, forcing others to either leave or go corrupt just to stop him—only for him to come back minutes later and do it all over again. This kind of behavior shouldn't be possible.

    -He did this for another 4 more hours last night in Carph tower all streamed btw.

    I mean, Ashes is the kind of game where this is perfectly valid gameplay. Right now it is easier than it should be, but that is about it.

    What he is saying in shat is also not against the rules at all.

    Ashes is a game where you are at the mercy of other players, and they are at your mercy. If someone is stronger than you (or a guild or alliance is stronger than yours) and they don't want you running a piece of content, you won't be running that piece of content.

    Right now, this player is stronger than you and doesn't want you running that content.

    I have and many other players have killed him, but since the corruption system is stupid and punishes you for killing him (since he's unflagged) he can just run through mobs and run into groups to wipe and not flag at all till everyone's dead and loot them. It doesn't matter if we stop all AoE and healing around him, he just runs it into people and stands there til mobs start hitting other players. This isn't fun in anyway having to deal with this guy.

    The solution there would be to have your tank drop intimidating aura and run everything into the corner so he can los the current pull against the wall where the cleric can't break los or easily lose aggro of the mobs he's pulling towards you. Then have someone flag up to slow and sleep him when he goes to pull more, he'll die to his overpull and no one gets corruption.
    Which is the greater folly, summoning the demon or expecting gratitude from it?

    I mean, if the issue is that he is training mobs on to you, why not just train mobs on to him?

    sounds like something to report to Twitch if you ask me. ToS
    My lungs taste the air of Time,

    you know you can just cc the guy when he pulls mobs right? instead you sit here crying about "disrupting gameplay" (lol) and call for bans on twitch and the game like some 5 year old. contesting farmspots is the lifeblood of the game and training mobs isnt new either (i know mob leash aggro will get changed)
